Description:

Alfredo Comandini was a journalist, historiographer and Italian politician. He was elected deputy of the city of Cesena in 1892 and, for some years, he was editor-in-chief of the northern Italy newspapers “Adige”, “Lombardia” and “Corriere della Sera”. As soon as he gave his resignation, he wrote several historical essays and books about Italian Risorgimento period including, "Cospirazioni di Romagna e Bologna nelle memorie di Federico Comandini e di altri patrioti del tempo", 1899; "Il principe Napoleone nel Risorgimento italiano", 1922); also, he collaborated to the volume "L'Italia nei cento anni del sec. 19º."

Strategically placed at the gateway to the Italian peninsula, Milan and the surrounding region of Lombardy have been the subject of constant disputes over the centuries. Celts, Romans, Goths, Lombards, Spaniards and Austrians have all ruled the city at some stage of its history and for the most part, the city has capitalised on its position and has emerged today as the undisputed economic and cultural powerhouse of a united Italy.
